To reach an eight-game schedule, you simply play all five of your division mates and one team from each of the other three divisions. To a certain degree, scheduling for this conference really is not as difficult as it may at first seem. * Potential Additions (3): Louisiana Tech, Texas State, UTSA, Most Of The Sun Belt (Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, UL-Lafayette, UL-Monroe, Western Kentucky) * Potential Additions (2): Appalachian State, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Temple, Troy * Potential Additions (2): New Mexico State, Utah StateĬoastal Division: East Carolina, Marshall, Southern Miss, UAB Mountain States Division: Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, Wyoming * Potential Addition (1): Idaho, Montana, San Jose State Pacific Coast Division: Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV, UTEP Let's look at how these four divisions could eventually take shape. A conference of four six-team divisions would actually result in a schedule not nearly as absurd as one might initially assume. Within the most geographically ridiculous conference in the history of geographically ridiculous conferences lies interesting unity, small batches of programs that are actually tied together in sensible ways.

How can we use large conferences to IMPROVE scheduling instead of simply adapting to it? Today, we look at this new Mount USA we'll take on other issues in coming days.
